Run for Your Lives: Darlington, Md.

Want to test your
survival skills this Halloween? Then start training for Run for Your
Lives, a 5K obstacle course pitting you against the undead. Participants
crawl, climb, duck and dive
through a variety of obstacles – all while dodging brain-hungry zombies
trying to steal their health (represented by three flags). Those who
make it to the finish line with at least one flag intact receive a medal
to signify their survival. The first Run for Your Lives race was held
outside Baltimore in October 2011, but in 2012, the event is invading 12
cities across North America, with dates ranging from September through
December.
